Miley did not introduce twerking into popular culture
Though Miley’s video sparked the most recent twerking fascination, hit Ying Yang Twins’ songs like “Say I Yi Yi” and others. If you never realized “Say I Yi Yi” was about twerking check the lyrics.
She got her hands up on her knees and her bows on her thighs
She got the twerkin and the servin so I know that she fly
She got me hype, I wanna bite her right now yi yi
Say I yi yi yi yi.
“Say I Yi Yi” was released in 2002. In pop culture years, that’s ancient. So calling it new is like claiming the bankhead bounce is the new hotness on the streets. It’s just not true.
